Long explanation followed by a question. I own a '97 Jeep Cherokee with 150,000 miles on the clock. It has the AX15 and NP231HD (leaker) combination. I have about 5" of lift, 33X10.50 BFG ATs, 4.56 gears and rear Powertrax. I have the usual rock rails, HD front bumper, roof rack w/spare tire. I have done a few other things, but nothing really not worthy. It has been a love hate relationship. I feel like I am constantly trying to keep it road worthy, and not just falling apart. I have used it a lot. It has hauled me to Alaska and Mexico from my home in Utah. Also it has been to Easter Jeep Safari for the last 12 years. It is really good off road, and I use it as a daily driver. I now have another problem. The inevitable chassis flex has caught up to me. I have had my hatch adjusted to open again, and after a harrowing trip on the White Rim, it was hanging up again. You can read about it hear. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49183 Since I have been home things have seemed to straighten out. I have looked into buying frame stiffiners, and like the price of these from T&T Customs. http://tntcustoms.com/uni-bodystiffeners-2.aspx
My question is does anyone have experience with frame stiffiners? How much do they help? It is hard to say, but is it worth it or do I just sell it? I have really been looking at, I hate to say, buying an '04 DC Tacoma. Any suggestions would be of great help.
Here are a couple pictures of it when I listed it on ksl.com.
